In this article, I present the case study of Aldeia Digital, a project of media education and digital inclusion with training workshops of the Xavante people for the production of their own media. The research used multiple methods such as interviews, focus groups, action research, participant observation and ethnography, highlighting the use of photography and audiovisual as methods of observation in the fieldwork. The argument of this article is that the use of digital media given by the Xavante political movement transfers the internal political opposition between the factions towards a new type of external political opposition: the one that exists between “us”, the Xavantes and them, the whites. The results of the research show that digital media were used to mediate the political relations of the Xavante indigenous movement with whites.
